Jamia varsity seeks action against police entering campus

New Delhi: The Jamia Millia Islamia University authorities on Sunday demanded an action against police personnel who entered the campus premises without permission.

“Taking exception to the plain-clothed police personnel entering Jamia Millia Islamia premises without permission, the authorities have written to Delhi Police demanding suitable action against them,” the university said in a statement.

Scores of students staged a protest and alleged on Saturday evening that some “raids” were conducted by Delhi Police inside the university hostels.

The police officials told the university that it was a “routine check up” ahead of the Independence Day.

“They (police) conducted the raids to harass the students,” a protester, who wanted to remain anonymous, told IANS.

The students also accused Chief Proctor Mehtab Alam of allowing the police to enter the campus premises.
